THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    They're high school graduates - and the world's got hell to pay! Hot new talents Thora Birch (American Beauty) and Scarlett Johansson (The Horse Whisperer) "sneak into your heart and stay there" (Rolling Stone) in this "uproariously funny" (Premiere) comedy from the acclaimed director of Crumb. With Brad Renfro (Deuces Wild), Ileana Douglas (Stir of Echoes) and Steve Buscemi (Fargo) in "the best role of his career" (Movieline), this "whip-smart comedy" is "a surprise gem" (People)!
    While their classmates head for college, Enid (Birch) and Rebecca (Johansson) focus their energies on tormenting those around them! From a goofy convenience store clerk (Renfro) to an eccentric art teacher (Douglas), these two saboteurs wreak havoc on all who cross their paths. But when they zero in on an oddball loner (Buscemi) looking for Miss Right, their seemingly innocent meddling threatens to shatter one of their hearts... not to mention their lifelong friendship.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based of the underground graphic novel of the same name written by Daniel Clowes, who also served as a screenwriter for this film along with director Terry Zwigoff.
• The Coon Chicken Inn shown in the film was a real chain of restaurants based out of Salt Lake City, UT in the 1920's. However according to this film, the company changed it's name to Cook Chicken and is still in business. This part is actually untrue, the company never changed it's name and it when out of business in the 1950's
• This film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, this was the first time that a film based off a comic or graphic novel has ever been nominated in a writing category.
• The role of Seymour was partially based off of director Terry Zwigoff, who like the character has an obsession with collection 1920's jazz records. Steve Buscemi said he was so uncomfortable playing the role of Seymour that as soon as shooting finished for the day he would change all of his clothes so that he could feel like a different person.
